13:35 Quality commentary
57:32 fun fact: most of those names for groups of animals, like "murder of crows," were arbitrarily adopted from a single book.
Someone just wrote a book of random names of groups, and biologists were like, "yeah that'll do 👍"
Regarding the weird collective/group nouns in English (ie "murder of crows") there was a time in the 1700s to 1800s I think it was when it was a fashionable thing to do to invent flavorful and fun collective nouns for things, and some of them just stuck around. Essentially, murder of crows is a few century old meme.
Ha nice!
@@LowkoTV Even more nice; youtube is giving me the option to "Translate to English" your "Ha nice!" to... "Ha nice!". Meta.
Also @Lowko, if you have every seen a group of crows collectively decide to eat something that may or may not be dead yet, you will understand why they are a murder of crows and not a school or a flock.
I love the point where you were talking about being soo and paused as you thought “where am I taking this” and just went “anyways soo is a swarmy player” 😂
I notice over the years I go off on side tangents more and more
I oersonally think it adds to it. It makes it nore interesting lol so kee up the grea work!@@LowkoTV
Random fact: valid allowed numbers of barracks for Terrans are 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on
You are right.
lol 😂😂😂
I once heard 1 was even valid twice it's so valid.
@@M0r7r3d0r some also consider that even before doubly valid single rax openers there can be an SCV rush with 0 rax
Who let Mr Fibonacci out?
What are drones? Visually they're based on the now extinct Anomalocaris although in the Sc2 lore their genetic template comes from gashyrr wasps. Coincidentally they also look like Anorith from Pokémon.
Conclusion: I think they're neat!
That "sound bite" should definitelly make it's way to the Lowko Announcer pack.🙂 Best scan sound ever.

Thanks for the video, Lowko. This was a fun and exciting watch! ♥
lol Micro Jordan, cheers and lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for top notch Starcraft action
Regarding sheep (singular) vs sheep (plural):
It is true that "sheep" comes from an Old English word that is the same in the (nominative and accusative) plural as it is in the (nominative and accusative) singular.
But this isn't the reason why "sheep" is the plural form in modern English - or if it is, it's only a small part of the explanation.
Some Old English neuters have (nom & acc) plurals identical to their (nom & acc) singulars, others don't. For example, the OE word for "ship" is "scip" in the singular, "scipu" in the plural - whereas the word for "sheep" is "sceap" in both singular and plural. As has been pointed out, "sceap" would originally have had a plural "sceapu", but this had been almost entirely lost in OE.
However, to that I have to say "so what?" - because "house", "land", "thing", and "tree" are all words which were identical in their OE (nom & acc) singular to their OE (nom & acc) plurals - respectively, "hus", "land", "þing", and "treow".
(And it's not as though the plural suffix of the word "ships" bears any resemblance to the "-u" of "scipu", either, does it?)
So, an invariant plural in OE rarely leads to an invariant plural in modern English. (And yes, "hus", "land", "þing", "treow" are all neuter, too, just as "sceap" is.)
One other thing that "sheep" and "deer" have in common, apart from being OE neuters with invariant plurals, though, is that both terms describe animals, and there's a certain tendency to have invariant plurals for certain animals, especially those normally found in herds. Of course, there are many other animals to which this doesn't apply.
We could note that "elk" is very often used as the plural of "elk" (although a regular plural "elks" exists), despite the fact "elk" was an OE masculine with a regular plural ending "-s". "Antelope" is often (not always) used as a plural, and didn't exist in OE at all. "Buffalo" is often (not always) used as a plural, and didn't exist in OE, and has a regular plural in Spanish and Portuguese. Mari-Lou A points out that "fish" has long been used as a plural of itself: this usage was first attested c.1400; before then, and in OE, "fish" had had a regular plural (OE "fiscas") ("fishes" today is mainly used to denote multiple types of fish, at least in standard English).
Overall, then, the OE etymology is only a small part of the explanation.
Ryan thank you for the scholarship of your answer. I think it is fair to say that native speakers of English occasionally make mistakes pluralizing some words and wonder about the ones that are exceptions to the "rule"; deer, sheep, moose to name a few. I will note, for myself, that the change of the definite article in Dutch (het/de) can be similarly as bewildering for someone who did not learn Dutch as their first language.
As the late and great John "TotalBiscuit" Bain once said, Soo may get a lot of 2nd places but it takes an incredibly great player to be as consistently in the top as Soo manages to be.
When Soo won Katawice, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Funtastic time to watch. Thx a lot! After 3 weeks at the beach, some very good Starcraft 2 is perfect. Watching this on big screen with over 3m diameter.
13:36 that really needs to be an option in the sound settings -- best impression of an orbital scan EVER 😂😂😂
That corruptor hit squad dedicated almost entirely to killing medivacs was a work of art.
lol our language in South Africa is pretty much similar to Dutch, laughed at your explanation / rules of languages cause it's so relatable
Was searching for Starcraft commentary in Dutch, couldn't find any
What is it called if a SC2 map makes terran players feel like going for Reaper cheese?
It is called...
amByuNce
That last engagement for Byun was just so hard to watch. What was he doing so pushed up with nothing to fall back on and right after he finally secured the gold?
I'm kinda surprised a "3x reaper" opening isn't somwhat standard for Terran. When it works, it works. Then just usually keep a 5x reaper unit hotkeyed always in midgame, because its annoying, and medivacs can't get in to do drops everywhere (and having some reapers supporting can't hurt when they do).
I learnt today that the musical word "timbre" is pronounced as "tambr", despite "timber" being pronounced with an i. We can then infer from this that the ending of a word affects the pronunciation of the first vowel, clearly
That's because most classic music words come from French or Italian

So what I've noticed on why Dark can pull off the swarm approach, seemingly against all odds, where other zergs fail is that they all take their foot off the gas around the CC explosion time.
Zerg will be sitting there with 3k-4k minerals in the bank while the Terran sit basically broke usually for 5+ minutes, but the zerg let up because they think they're not making headway.
The thing is, they don't have to trade even at 3:1, they can trade out 7:1 and still slowly grind the terran down because the terran usually has functionally 0 resources available, they have just enough to expand and replace the occasional unit loss. They wouldn't be able to keep up with forced attrition, even it's incredibly one sided. In game 1 Soo had 5+ minutes where Byun had less than 500 minerals in the bank ever whole Soo had 3k-4k. Just hold down the zergling key and force attrition.
I think that's what Dark does differently. Once he commits to the swarm he keeps his foot on the gas and never lets off.
I think what soo does right is using the corruptors to destroy liberators and medivacs. I also think the game would have ended faster if terran does not have the mule mechanics.
I love how reading the title I instantly said, outloud, "damnit byun".
After watching. I was promised Byunbelievable BS. All I got were two badly played macro games.
Leroy jackson???
Its leroy jenkins!!
Love your vids. Let's see more mirror matches!
I love seeing how players counter the same units.
The TvZ grind hasn’t changed much in 20 years
It's soO good to see you playing against ByuN on your alternate account, Lowko. Or should I say your "second" account? 😉
God damn what is that soundtrack at 24min
English is actually a Germanic language similar to Dutch, with a mix of Latin being thrown into it
Wouldn’t the original turtle Terran be Thorzain? My favorite anyway
So, just some English group words you might like.
It’s a parliament of owls, but a congress of baboons.
It’s a flock of birds, but also of sheep.
And while it’s a murder of crows, a group of ravens can be referred to as a “flock”, a “rave”, a “conspiracy”, an “unkindness”, or a “storytelling”.
Yes, English is a ridiculous language….
Moose is another word that trips people up. The same word is singular and plural. Some even say the plural is "meese" like with goose/geese.
Definitely easy to see how it trips up non-native English speakers.
Haven’t watched sc in a while, it’s great to come back and watch my Zerg brothers kill some Terran scum
Hell yeah Brother!
Nah man TERRAN UP THE NIGHT 🗣️🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥
LOL Lowko if you want to come over here to Minnesota, I'd be happy to help you enunciate your aaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys. That comment was hilarious because it's true.
Nouns of assemblage. A tower of giraffes. A pride of lions. Arbitrary and self-aware trying to be cool.
Any rogue games in the pipeline?
Can somebody make a ring tone out of his "bleep, bleep, bleeep"?
Thanks!
You should introduce one of the pros as "a man who has lost it all". list every tournament they haven't won =P
an hour long Bo3 match with BuyN?!?!
*yes please!*
3:34
somebody's popular
What happened to Has? I miss that cheesy dude.
10:58 LEEEEEERROOOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENKINS!!!
Lowko, it's 'Scay-le' as in skateboard, not skim lol
why is the plural of mouse mice
But we can't live in semi-detached hice?
Fish and fishes us even more confusing. Both are correct, but can be incorrect. If you have 2 of the same it's fish, 2 different species and it's fishes.
Also, pony and bologna rhyme but cough and hiccough do not...
Stealing third base? I thought this was StarCraft!
I love the English comments. I am bilingual, English and Spanish, and it is very easy to see the weirdness of English. I do kinda want to say, it is notable that you're really only focusing on the irregularities of verbs and plurality which is very strange in English. That really is confusing. But at least compared to Spanish, more overarching grammar principles are much simpler. English has very few tenses that don't exist in Spanish and you really can arrange the words however you like sometimes. Its flexibility is one of its best strength. There's flexibility in Spanish too but less so due to the specificity of verb rules. I am curious now, how does verb grammar in Dutch compare to that of English?
Also, nobody actually says a murder of crows even though it's "technically" correct, at least in my experience haha
Rather than saying "soO is known for always getting second place", you could say "soO is well known for making it to the final match when entering major tournaments".
Sounds more polite, but has a similar meaning.
why byun why... greed kill the cat
What’s the thing behind this roast?
Maru would have made it work in that last game .... and everyone would have wondered how that would have happened... facts
Leroy jackson?!?
Leeeeeroy Jenkins!!!!!!
LOWKO IS SOO!!!!
Thors too
is there a way for zerg to turtle & defensive like what buyn did in 1st game? :/
Broods + queens + lurkers, but the problem is they're all countered by ghosts (as are ultralisks) it's objectively worse to play Zerg turtle, and SoO's strategy in the third game to ambush the Terran army as they overextend is what won him the game, instead of his Brood Lord transition in game 1 which lost him the game.
Sc-Ale
Ghosts :D
where is Dark vs Maru GSL Finals Match. im still waiting 🤧💀
You DEFINITELY are a jerk Simon…there’s no doubt about that. But that’s also why we follow you, lol. For example 13:36 😂😂😂
suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:D asalwaystyforyourhardworkanddedication lowko!!! glhf
BLOOLULULULUP
55:40 - if you wanna talk stupid lets talk german.
umfahren and umfahren is written the same, but literally means the opposite.
Like driving around or over somebody.
That's amazing
what the fuck how do i even google to find the correct pronounciation for each
@@ashesofaranea yeah I don’t know 😂
Yeah English doesn't make sense even to us native English speakers. You've got read and read but also reed and red. But dead is dead and deed is deed but not dead and dead.

I really appreciate it every time, don’t stop 🛑
You are the most annoying person in the whole internet.
It's too bad I couldn't like without entering the comment section
55:24 English as a language is just three languages in a trench coat that mug other languages for loose nouns and grammar in dark ally ways. English will never make complete sense to me
Worste clickbait ive seen sofar 🤦♂👎
Think you mean LeRoy Jenkins!!
